Hi!

Lately I tried to install Matlab from my dowloaded ISO (net-install or the like didn't work) and everytime the installation program starts to unpack the archives (after entering where the license.dat ist) I get following error message:

"There was an error extracting the archives for MATLAB.
This is usually caused by a lack of disk space, or a permissions error (there may be a pre-existing installation of MATLAB for a different user). Check that you have enough disk space and fix any permissions problems, then re-run the installer."

Well, there is enough disk space, as it's a brand new iMac and I also tried to repair the permissions.

I even downloaded the ISO a second time, but it still doesn't work.

Hints would be appreciated.
Thanks!

It's possible the image that you downloaded was corrupted ... contact
